Corporate Information

OPERATING INCOME


Consolidated operating income increased $622 million, or 135%, from 2000 to 2001. In 2000 our results of operations include two significant items: an $88 million pretax gain on the sale of marine vessels and a pretax charge of $36 million related to the restructuring of the engineering and construction businesses. Excluding these items, operating income increased by more than 160%.

Energy Services Group operating income increased $433 million, or 74%, in 2001 over 2000. Excluding the sale of marine vessels, operating income increased more than 100% compared to 2000. Increased operating income reflects increased activity levels, higher equipment utilization and improved pricing, particularly in the United States in the first nine months of 2001. Our oilfield services product service lines operating income in 2001 exceeded $1 billion, more than double from 2000. Operating margins for our oilfield services product service lines increased from 8.6% in 2000 to 14.8% in 2001, resulting in an incremental margin of 37%. Operating income was higher in 2001 as compared to 2000 in all product service lines and geographic regions. The largest increase was in pressure pumping in North America, which rose by over 130%. Substantial increases in operating income were also made in the logging, drilling bits and drilling services product service lines. Operating income in North America was higher by 78% in 2001 as compared to 2000. International regions, particularly Latin America and Europe/Africa, made significant improvements in operating income. Excluding the sale of marine vessels in 2000, operating income for the remainder of the segment decreased $41 million, primarily due to lower operating margins in our Surface/Subsea product service line and revised profit estimates on a major project.

Engineering and Construction Group operating income increased $185 million from 2000 to 2001. Operating margins improved to 3.3% in 2001. This increase is primarily due to the $167 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000 as a result of higher than estimated costs on specific jobs and unfavorable claims negotiations on other jobs. We also recorded a restructuring charge of $36 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 related to the reorganization of the engineering and construction businesses under Halliburton KBR. Excluding these fourth quarter 2000 charges, operating income decreased $18 million, or 11%, consistent with the decline in revenues.

General corporate expenses were $74 million for 2001 as compared to $78 million in 2000.

NONOPERATING ITEMS
Interest expense of $147 million in 2001 was $1 million higher than in 2000. Our outstanding short-term debt was substantially higher in the first part of 2001 due to repurchases of our common stock in the fourth quarter of 2000 under our repurchase program and borrowings associated with the acquisition of PGS Data Management in March 2001. Cash proceeds of $1.27 billion received in April 2001 from the sale of the remaining businesses within the Dresser Equipment Group were used to repay our short-term borrowings; however, our average borrowings for 2001 were slightly higher than in 2000. The impact of higher average borrowings was mostly offset by lower interest rates on short-term borrowings.

Interest income was $27 million in 2001, an increase of $2 million from 2000.

Foreign currency losses were $10 million in 2001 as compared to $5 million in 2000.

Other, net was a loss of $1 million in 2000 and less than $1 million gain in 2001.

Provision for income taxes was $384 million for an effective tax rate of 40.3% in 2001 compared to 38.5% in 2000.

Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries in 2001 was $19 million as compared to $18 million in 2000.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations in 2001 was a $42 million loss, or $0.10 per diluted share due to accrued expenses associated with asbestos claims of disposed businesses. See Note 3. The loss was partially offset by net income for the first quarter of 2001 from Dresser Equipment Group of $0.05 per diluted share. Income from discontinued operations of $98 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, represents the net income of Dresser Equipment Group for the full year of 2000.

Gain on disposal of discontinued operations in 2001 was $299 million after-tax, or $0.70 per diluted share. The 2001 gain resulted from the sale of our remaining businesses within the Dresser Equipment Group in April 2001. The gain of $215 million after-tax, or $0.48 per diluted share, in 2000 resulted from the sale of our 51% interest in Dresser-Rand, formerly a part of Dresser Equipment Group, in January 2000.

Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of $1 million reflects the adoption of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” in the first quarter of 2001.

Net income for 2001 was $809 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $501 million, or $1.12 per diluted share in 2000.
